What disability parking tickets are there?

There are three different disabled parking permits: 

Driver's card 

You are disabled and drive a vehicle yourself. For example, a car (you must have driving license B), moped (you must have driving license AM) or Canta. This card bears the letter B. The card is not linked to a license plate, but to you as a person. You can use the card for any vehicle. 

Passenger card 

You are disabled but do not drive a vehicle by yourself. And you always depend on the driver's assistance from door to door. This card bears the letter P. The card is not tied to a license plate, but to you as a person. Therefore, if you are not a passenger, this card may not be used. Would you like to apply for a passenger card? Please contact the municipality by phone at 140511.

Combined map 

You permanently use a wheelchair and/or have another serious physical disability that makes walking difficult. The combination card is issued in exceptional cases. The card is personal and not license plate bound. It can therefore be used for any car.
